ideal hardware for cocoon?
Hi folks
We are going to be setting up a dedicated cocoon server soon and I am
trying to spec out the hardware. The operating system will be redhat (8
probably) and tomcat will be the servlet engine.
Does anyone have any experiences of what hardware balance is right for
cocoon? I know this is stupid question with no concrete answer as it
depends on what the server will be doing, loading, etc. etc. etc.
Having said all this what balance would you go for when buying a cocoon
server? Would you go for single processor (2.6ghz) machine with lots of
memory (4-6gig) or a dual processor machine (2 x 2.6ghz) with less
memory (2gig).
My searching of the cocoon, tomcat, and FOP lists hasn't really given me
any good feel for optimum hardware configuration. I'm hoping someone has
some experience.
The cocoon server is mainly going to be serving FOP based
transformations, xml (xhtml) to PDF and xml to svg to png. As much
static content as possible will be served from a dedicated apache http
server so this machine will only be doing dynamic xml transformations.
Some of these might get quite large, our present record is xhmtl to 206
pages of pdf.
Again I appreciate that optimum hardware should be reached by careful
study of what us it is going to be put to, but we are just starting out
seriously on the cocoon route so don't have the experience to know
exactly how it will be used.

we never had any problem with it.

Simply remove the transformer and change the type of the serializer to xml.

DirectoryGenerator depth attrib (newbie)
Posted by Mark Anquoe <ma...@pixar.com>.
ok I've started pulling my hair out. I am really having problems getting
the DirectoryGenerator to display anything more than the contents of the
current directory. I can't seem to get the depth attribute to do anything.
I modified my just installed sitemap directory matching to look like this:
<map:match pattern="**/">
<map:generate src="{1}" type="directory">
<map:parameter name="depth" value="3"/>
</map:generate>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/system/directory2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
now shouldn't I be seeing 3 levels deep into the directory tree?
does directory2html.xsl not allow for more than one level?
how can I see the sax events being served to the xsl page to know where
the problem is?
thanks everyone
mark

No.

Get a FOP distribution, you'll find both a XSD and a DTD. Also
check the spec
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/
the reference at zvon
http://zvon.org
and the list of FOP limitations
http://xml.apache.org/fop

do i need to map the images to the sitemap?
btw, is there a dtd/schema for xsl-fo document so that
someone can know what elements/attributes can be inside an
element?

There are at least two possiblities:
- absolutely positioned block-containers
- put the images in two adjacent table cells and make
the first cell narrow so that the image within overflows
into the next cell.

Fop-user would be a better place.

You probably need to set the baseDir for FOP. Look it up
in the documentation for the fo2pdf serializer.

embedding graphics
Posted by joni santoso <st...@plasa.com>.
Hi,
I have asked this question before using other subject.
Here are my problems :
1. I tried to overlap several images (please see the fo
file below). I want to make images gigi1.jpg and gl.jpg
overlapped. However, it seems that it is not doable. Is
it? (Sorry if this question may actually be fit to ask in
fop-user but maybe anyone here knows it).
2. I have this fo file that works fine but when I put this
onto cocoon the pictures don't show up. What's wrong? The
images and the fo file are in the same directory. However,
I don't map any of these images just the fo file.
thx.
here are the fo :

Re: ideal hardware for cocoon?
Posted by Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>.
As Peter hints, there is no limit on how much you can spend on your ideal
production environment.
50,000 CaffeinMark Java CPU (byte codes in silicon) with XML parsing hardware
accelerator (similar to a NVidia chip) would be a good start. Then make that
into an array of 10000, each with a Gig of memory, and you are in a good
position...
Price tag for the above; Give me 12-18 months and $10-15million, and I'll make
it happen. ;o)
